Sanovo has perfected WAVE technology applying ohmic heating. Processing using Sanovo WAVE allows products to have a shelf life in excess of 90 days since bactericidal action is approximately ten times higher than with radio-frequency (RF) treatment. Advantages of ohmic heating as compared to RF include:-
- Reduced energy consumption. Ohmic heating achieves an energy efficiency of 95 percent, reducing energy consumption by at least half compared to RF.
- Ohmic heating operating at relatively low current and voltage in a contact process ensures stability even with nonuniform liquid. High current and voltage associated with RF heating can be deleterious to product, especially with nonuniform liquids.
- Ohmic heating requires relatively simple electronic components that contribute to a low maintenance cost compared to the RF alternative.
Sanovo has prepared a comprehensive review of WAVE technology available to the industry. Application and design specialists are available to plan and design installations incorporating ohmic WAVE technology.
